The player cannot see all locations, only his state and allies; neutral and enemy zones are hidden by the “fog of war” - a familiar mechanic for strategy fans. Each area of ​​life of a power in Victoria 2 is controlled from a separate screen, with the exception of army movement. Each menu has maximum information content and displays the state of aspects of the controlled territories, for example, the mood of the population, the provision of resources, relations with other states, and so on. The player is asked to choose a development vector to achieve the goals set by the game for victory.
